If I can do the following without being in group operator: pciconf -l devinfo Then why shouldn't I also be able to do: usbdevs -v I looked at other drivers in src/sys/dev/usb, and the ones that have a make_dev() call invoke make_dev() with 0644. So at least this would be consistent with the other USB drivers. > I'm not saying that you don't, just that it needs to be considerred. > And is that ALL they can do if you change it? I don't see what the problem would be for giving read-only access to /dev/usb[n] for non-operators, but I'll let someone else chime in. -- Craig Rodrigues http://crodrigues.org rodrigc@crodrigues.org
